Process: choose my photo and selected the background I thought would fit perfectly with it. I added my photo and moved it around to where I wanted to place it, used one of the transfers as a clipping mask. Since I wanted to say something about her being four I added Annas Painted Numbers, filled with a color. It needed some depth so I duplicated the layer and filled with a darker color. I masked out (erased) some of the dark areas leaving only some of the edges dark. I duplicated the layer again and erased (masked) out all the numbers but the four, filled it with some of the transfers to get soft color on it. I then added under the clipping mask of the photo a soft watercolor flower to extend the flower on Sydneys shirt. It still needed some stuff so I added under the background area a blending mask as well as a solid color paper. Clipping the top paper to the blending mask, this added some grunge to it. Finishing it off I added bits and pieces from the ArtsyKardz and the word turning on the number 4. I think I can call it done ;>
